This debacle brought new meaning to “firing” up the engine.

A New York City woman spent $700 for mechanics to investigate a bizarre cracking sound in her car — only to feel absolutely “silly” upon discovering the unlikely source. She detailed her automobile fiasco in a TikTok video with over 300,000 views on TikTok.

“I thought there was something wrong with the vehicle,” Alex Nevarez told Newsweek of a “cracking noise” under the dashboard, which she first noticed after a five-hour drive.

The Gothamite, who had owned the vehicle for five years, said a prior mechanic had found signs of rodents in her engine, was worried this could be a “rat’s nest” — especially as she had parked on the street in NYC.
